Push forward with UBC: Developing AI responsibly in health care 

The opportunities around artificial intelligence are immense, but the challenges are real. That’s why the University of British Columbia is developing AI responsibly in health care. We’re pushing forward with determination, driven by the potential to shape a better future.

UBC is developing AI to speed up the path to treatment, so patients get the care they need, faster. We’re collaborating with front-line workers and building in safeguards around privacy to ensure that humans, not AI, make crucial health decisions. 

See how we’re pushing forward, every day. 

“One of the reasons we’re so successful is that from day one, we’ve co-designed with front-line workers.”

– Dr. Raymond Ng, Director of UBC’s Data Science Institute and Canada Research Chair in Data Science and Analytics
